hi there, high blood pressure or hypertension as its medical term, is a fatal condition if not properly monitored. It means high pressure or high tension on the arteries. Arteries are the vessels that carries blood from your heart to different parts of the body. It is usually caused by obesity or increased weight, increase sodium in the body. Sodium absorbs water and causes water retention...it is also heridetary, Diabetes mellitus also increases chance of having high BP because diabetes tends to cause our blood to be viscus thus creating tension in the blood circulation..
